Naan Pizza with Sauteed Veggies
Serves: Expect 1 to 3 mini naan per person or 1/2 to 1 large naan per person
Ingredients:
Mini naan (4 1/2 inches x 6 inches) or large naan (7 1/2 inches x 10 1/2 inches)
1 tsp EVOO for mini naan and 2 tsp for large naan
Private Selection (Kroger) Marinara (1/4 cup on mini naan and 1/2 cup on large naan)
1 string mozzarella cheese for small naan and 2 string mozzarella cheese for large naan
1 sauteed onion and 1 sauteed bell pepper
Directions:
- Position oven rack in middle (or lower position in oven if want very firm crust).
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spread top of naan with light layer extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).
- Spread layer of marinara sauce on naan.
- Slice string cheese or fresh mozzarella and space evenly on naan.
- Top with sauteed vegetables.
- Bake naan pizza on cookie sheet or pizza stone. Check after 4 to 5 minutes to make sure cheese is not burning. Depending on oven and size of naan, total bake time can vary from 4 minutes to 9 minutes.
- Remove from oven when cheese is melted and begins to turn light golden brown.
- Serve hot.
Shortcut: Use purchased Marinara, We like Kroger Private Selection Marinara.
For extra flavor, add a couple twists of Kroger Private Selection Italian Herb Grinder to naan pizza before serving.
Tip: Keep string cheese in refrigerator for a convenient satisfying snack. Fresh mozzarella has a nice taste, but string cheese is less expensive and packed in a handy way.
Mini bell peppers in a bag are quick and easy to prep and use as a pizza topper.
Tip: This is a recipe that is fun for family members to help with and teens.
Challenge: To save time during the week, saute several bell peppers and onions. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator to pull out as an enhancement to your naan or other meals. They make a delicious sandwich topper.
